When Dahl went to the local grocery and asked for pasta, she was directed to a shelf of boxed macaroni and cheese. (Demand has since improved the selection.)

Greenpeace complained the speech was full of "hot air;" European Environment Commissioner Ritt Bjerregaard said he was "disappointed" that "the rhetoric was not met by the reality." And the U.S. business community ? from which Gore would like at least a measure of support in 2000 ? wasn't happy either. William F. O'Keefe, head...
